Jing Xu (许靖) has been competing for 10 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.15, set at Hefei Cubing League 3x3 II 2026, puts her in the top 7.9% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,158th in China. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since November 2016, she has put 151 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 93% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 15.04 in November 2016 to 10.15, a 33% improvement. Jing has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
